Respect for the 110

[Hermit_Knight]

Was in a camping store today and walked past a display case with a Buck 110 model and damn! I’ve heard how people love them and all but I really did have to see one in person to appreciate the beauty of it. Oh and I bought it haha I had too!

You are going to love it. I have used the snot out of a couple of them and they are still tight after 40 or 50 years.

(BTW, careful with the profanity. This is a family forum. )

Yep, Buck hit a double grand slam with the 110. It was designed as a folding hunting knife, but ended up also being a perfect all-round knife of general use. Hence, its never ending popularity.

You know without a picture it didn't happen Preston

Gotta love the Buck 110, i have zero reason not to call it the greatest locking folder design in history.
There's just no way I could like any locking folder better than the 110.

H Hermit_Knight Welcome to the Clan!
You will soon find the 110 is just a wee tiny little bit addictive.
I've no doubt that it will not be long before you have your second ... third ...
They are a bit like Lay's Potatoe Chips in a way; yer never satisfied with just one.

Thank you sir haha yes I’m already looking at custom 110’s and other editions of it!

A total of 15,000,000 110’s sold apparently? That’s nutty.

I love my 110 but it is a bit heavy for pocket carry. The 110LT should belong to every Buck lover. Less than 1/2 the weight but same ergonomics and blade. Truly a fantastic USA Made knife for $25-ish.

The 110LT costs about 59 USD in my country but I’ll look into it, I really should import from America do you happen to know good dealers I’ve had a few mates import from knife Center but I don’t really know any other places cheers.

Hey op! You did right!
But do get a hold of flitz
when the brass needs some seeing to...

 

[Wowbagger]

the beauty of it

Yes all that brass and polished steel, not to mention the diamond wood, is very desirable.

Number one for me though is the handle shape. With a little traction getin' texturing, as my latest one has, it is the best user handle shape out there (and you can tell 'em I said so).
I was using mine today.

Knife Center for sure in the US. Currently $24.95. Insanely low price for this knife.

I am Canadian and my local Tire/HW store sells them for about $30USD regular price.
